Editor Wanted: Educational Case Study

I recently received an email from a writer looking for an editor. The details of what he is working on and looking for are below. If this is something you believe you can help with, please send him an email.

-Laura

The case study I wrote explores a modern approach to education: the benefits of using film, technology, and other creative, non-conventional pedagogical methods in the classroom to enhance students’ understanding of literature. I selected a research group of at-risk, tenth grade New York City high school students who initially could not comprehend our Holocaust curriculum. However, after analyzing different films and working on various creative assignments, they felt more prepared, motivated, and determined to understand the literature and subject matter.

As a result, the students’ grades improved, and they were able to stay connected with the readings. My work also references similar professional case studies, authors, and educational theorists.

I've submitted my case study to many publications, such as NCTE, English Journal, etc. and received feedback stating that it lacked a clear study of methodology and analysis of data. I would like to rework my study with these elements, as well as anything else that would give my work a better chance of being publishing, as it is a very important topic.
A full version of my work is available in Microsoft Word (which follows comprehensive APA style requirements with a word count of 7,987, 44 pages double-spaced).

Thanks,

Question for the Group About Agents

Hi, All. Deb asked me to post a question here since you've all proven to be excellent resources.

"My pastor and I are collaborating on a religious book that we believe will have a very large, worldwide audience. We do not want to self-publish. My pastor has a divinity degree and will do the writing. I have extensive experience as an editor and will edit the ms. We live in upstate NY and would like to hire an agent that works with religious publishers. I have more than 100 titles in print but they are all in the education market, and I do not know anything about the religious marketplace. I'm turning to the group because the Web is crawling with "agents" who are really people wanting to help a person self-publish."

If you have any info for Deb, or can point her in the right direction, please comment directly to the post. Deb gets your responses faster if you do that rather than replying to the email and waiting until I can forward it to her.

Thanks for your help,
Laura
